Calvert Courier: The Prohlbitionists
had their grand rally at Fort WORTH on
the Goth. The crowd is estimated at
from 10000 to 10000 people, and the day

healthy numbers at the same point in the

doubt, be rendered as memorable as that
of their opponents.

tee and 400 pounds Of coffee were con-
sumed for dinner.
